Message from the MAV17 conference convenor, Ann Downton

Welcome to MAV17 – Our theme for this year’s conference is Achieving excellence in M.A.T.H.S

The Mathematical Association of Victoria invites you to the 54th Annual Conference (MAV17) in Melbourne from Thursday 7 – Friday 8 December 2017

Join us in exploring the question, ‘What does excellence look like?’

Australia’s international standing in mathematics has been slipping, however Victorian schools continue to perform above the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) average and at the upper end of results across Australia.

The MAV is dedicated to the improvement of mathematics education and at this year’s annual conference delegates will investigate the most effective approaches, tools and new technology, that education professionals can use to improve student learning outcomes across all levels (Early childhood to the senior years of secondary schools and beyond).

At MAV17, learn first-hand about the latest developments in mathematics education and be inspired by the wide-range of sessions available. Network with primary, secondary and tertiary teachers; teacher educators, researchers and academics; resource providers and representatives from government and other education bodies.

Don’t miss out on this invaluable opportunity at MAV17 to share and discuss excellence in mathematics while making social and professional connections in a dynamic environment.
